Ghostly Ghost Craft

All one would need are a few simple things,
Cheese cloth cut into various sizes, depending on how big you want your spooky ghost.(you want the cloth to be bigger than the balloon, it needs extra length all around the balloon.)
Liquid starch... I looked all over and old faithful Walmart was the only store in the area to carry it.
Balloons- the size you would like your ghosts to be, I had a couple different sizes, I think a real small balloon/ ghost would be cute.
Sharpie marker, black preferable.
Newspaper-to protect the working surface
Time-about 8 hours give or take

All you have to do is.... 1st lay out newspaper, then blow up balloon to preferred size, I had a difficult time getting the balloon to stay still as I was working with it, so I got a canning lid hole side up and place the knot of the balloon into hole and slipped under edge of ring to hold it in place. Then the weight of the cloth will set it in place.
dump liquid starch into a flat container (a bowl was difficult to work with),
take your cut to size Cheese Cloth open it to full size, then drench the cloth into the liquid starch. Squeeze the extra starch out of cloth. Carefully open to full size again and spread out the wet cheese cloth.
Cover balloon, leaving fun floating cloth edges around the balloon on the table.
This edging is what the finished product/Ghost stands on and give the ghostly spooky appearance.
Then wait, constantly tell children to leave it alone. I did it at night time to minimize this last step and let it dry overnight.
In the morning, most of the cheese cloth was dry except for a thick part of the edging where it was folded. I then drew a face on the ghost with the sharpie marker. Cut the knotted side of the balloon (i did not want to pop it). As the balloon shrank, it pulled away from the cheese cloth and Voila! A Ghostly Ghost. Place around the house to decorate or Halloween.
